6. Participation is expected and encouraged
7. Commitment by those who are involved
Key Junctures:
In order for the project to be fully functional for start of school 2011 - it is imperative that the district obtain school board approval in January 2011. Once approval is received the district treasurer and IT director must be ready to act and proceed with purchases quickly. Many times a project is slowed because the IT infrastructure is not in place. It takes time to install and configure servers. This plan allows a two month window from order to installation - which should be more than sufficient provided the key people are ready and act quickly.
Another key time frame will be during February and March 2011 in terms of enrollment. Students and parents must be given a flood of information regarding the courses to ensure an adequate number of students sign-up for the classes.
Finally, it will be key to hold the trainings and refresher trainings so that teachers and support staff feel confident regarding the new courses.
